@Mar27w Technically it could be, April's PS+ titles are announced later this week and come next week, but considering it's part of their Spring Frenzy promo I doubt they'd also bundle it in free at the same time. Reply+1

Awesome :) I was looking back at my purchase of this and remembered I already paid in for the expansion so interesting to hear it's underway already. I have a feeling I wont be actually needing it for quite some time but yeah, good to know.

I miss turn-based battles with actual strategy in the combat, and have pretty much never been happy with the ai when all other party members act independently so I'm more than a little wary of this game.

See, I get HD remakes for Vita/PS3 but to then re-release *those* on PS4 seems a bit redundant. I guess it's for people who bought a PS4 but never had a PS3, but can there really be *that* much of an upgrade difference between the two if the source was already a PS2 game? Reply+7

Good for them, this game is *great*. I've finished all the levels on the Vita version, but am bad, so only got about 7-8 Perfects. In fairness, getting Perfects in this turns it into a whole other game... Reply+6

@Pocketgrandpa I mostly bought mine for Phoenix Wright, which I really enjoyed. In a similar vein there's Virtue's Last Reward, though that a) works better if you've played or at least watched through the prequel and is also available on the Vita, so it's a case of 3D vs HD.

Luigi's Mansion was charming, Bravely Default's a damn fine retro-styled JRPG and the Monster Hunters are meant to be fun though I've never really played one.

I'm probably not the best to answer this as I've actually got a ton more Vita games than 3DS ones, even if that is largely due to PS+... Reply+1

Could be Talos Principle good (I like the lack of Tetrominos), could be Full 3D-Myst bad.

Wait and see.

EDIT: Ok, this trailer looks much more interesting. Game looks great visually and I think the puzzles are based on those iEye-type things that seem to react and manipulate the environment when you look at them.

TL;DR, the guy accused of this was in fact in a car accident months before, in the meantime numerous other people have had access to his account, one of them did this, and now he's suffering for it on their behalf. There are no winners here. There's definitely a total douchebag somewhere though.

EDIT: I see this is actually linked in the article too, but I think it needs a bit more prominence. Reply+88

I got a copy w/ a PS4 and Last of Us included, played it through, it really doesn't deserve the mauling it's gotten. It's not an outstanding game, and it messes a few things up, I wouldn't recommend it at £50 but it's not like it's this year's Dungeon Keeper Mobile ffs.

Disclosure, I've finished it and traded it for credit, so there's also that. I'd definitely be interested in a sequel if they can add a bit more liveliness/freedom to the proceedings. Reply+30

I don't regret any of the many many hours I spent w/ mates playing Rock Band, though I do now wonder wtf to do with all the plastic gubbins I haven't touched in a few years when it next comes to moving house... Reply0

@Captain_Amazing Uh, it pretty clearly states the regular game costs $20, and for $35 you get that game plus the additional NSFW deck. They had a few higher cost tariffs but they've sold out now and make up a small amount of the $2mil+ made. You can get the rest of the way w/ basic maths. Reply0

I tried this briefly due to being free and all. Well, I intended to try it briefly, would up putting an hour in. The review doesn't mention that the long bottom platform is constantly shrinking from the beginning of the game. I was motivated to see what happened if you let it vanish completely, see if there would be some other 'stage' or similar. Turns out you just have to deal with it not being there anymore and keep going.

Playing on PC w/ a 360 controller and have had zero issues. I did try w/ KB+M at first but that was... iffy. Ideally I want the control of the main character restored to something that at least involves mouse-look rather than the weird tank controls there at the moment and a tactical combat control with an overhead camera positioned more than a foot above the characters heads would also be nice.

But yeah, swapped to 360pad and have been having a fantastic time. Reply+10

Watching a bit of the Lets Play, surprised to see enemies. There were no turrets/roaming death-spheres in the demo and you were just free to wander/experiment, which I preferred to what I'm seeing here.

If you register an account then you can go to the 'VIP' section where the best deals are, no strings attached. (I think you can't use codes, but then the prices are typically cheaper than regular + code anyway) Reply0

Telltale have done that slightly dangerous thing whereby I think I like *them* as much as their output. They brought back adventure games, hell they brought back Sam and Max, then reinvented them (for better or worse I'm not certain, but it's definitely interesting) w/ TWD.

I'm not giving them carte blanche on anything they do quite yet (not going to go back and investigate Jurassic Park any time soon at least, and some others have been muddy) but in general if I reckon they'll do a good job w/ the property I'll buy upfront.

The biggest issue I've had with them has been their own store-bought versions being inferior to steam due to frequent update issues and delays getting new episodes, but it actually looks like they've stopped selling new things themselves. Probably for the best (though I'll miss the fact their store was always a fair bit cheaper due to £/$.) Second biggest has been seeing recent releases available massively discounted long before the stories are complete, but I refer back to my first part when deciding whether to pay out upfront, despite that.

I'd love if they could do a couple more things w/ actual puzzles but it seems their Interactive Fiction genre's selling gangbusters, so regrettably don't think I'll see it any time soon. Oh well, there's always Dreamfall Chapters and Book of Unwritten Tales 2 updates to be had. Reply+3

It's true, the whole first chase sequence is an absolute masterpiece. You genuinely feel like you're making snappy independent decisions and choices in where to go in this sprawling tower block network and it's only on a second playthrough you realise how linear and scripted it is. It just feels *so* natural. Reply+3

Reads to me as better than 3, not as good as 4, largely a re-hash of 2-Brotherhood, but taking into account that those are some pretty stale mechanics at this point, considering we had three of them already...

Also: 'tailing people through the streets without breaking line of sight' Urgh! This was terrible mission design *years* ago and still is.

EDIT: No mention of performance. Maybe because it was so slick it didn't bear mentioning (something which I would view as itself worth mentioning) but from every other source I've seen today it's um... a buggy mess across multiple platforms, so would have been interesting to hear one way or the other. Also also, these microtransactions that get hidden here in parenthesis... more info please? Reply+46
